Equipment

  • 1 Slow Cooker or Crockpot

Ingredients
  

Chicken with Vegetable Sauce Marinade:

  • 3 pounds bone-in chicken thighs
  • 1 large onion (chopped)
  • 1 medium carrot (diced)
  • 1 red bell pepper (diced)
  • 4 scallions (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
  • 1 teaspoon all-purpose Jamaican seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Jamaican chicken seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons Jamaican browning sauce or kitchen Bouquet
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh habanero pepper (no seeds)
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup ketchup

Added to the slow cooker with chicken:

  • 2 cups diced fresh tomatoes
  • 1 cup chicken broth

Other:

  • vegetable oil (as needed)
  • 6 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup cold water

Instructions
 

  • Remove skin from chicken thighs; score into meat with a sharp knife then cut in half through the bone using notched kitchen shears, with the bone firmly in the notch.
  • Place the chicken in a marinating bag with all the other marinade ingredients. Marinate 6 hours or overnight.
  • Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade, shaking off the veggies. Brown them in shallow half inch oil in a skillet; set the chicken aside.
  • Drain the oil out of the skillet and add the vegetables with marinade and cook that for a few minutes to soften the veggies.
  • Place the veggies mixture into the slow cooker and add the tomatoes and chicken broth, stirring to mix.
  • Add the chicken to the sauce.
  • Cover and cook on low for five hours. Stir the cornstarch into the cold water and add to the slow cooker.
  • Cook for another 30-60 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  • Serve stew with rice and peas, rice, or noodles.
